Football conference Football clubs are currently suffering as a result of the national economic and social crisis, but also from the legacy of years of poor management and severe debt. It concludes that the idealist claims of football leaders in the region are compromised by their real motives of self-aggrandizement and greed, and that the development of football at all levels in the Caribbean has been hampered by this. This paper analyses the nature of ethnicity in relation to the sport in the United States in an attempt to move beyond the simplistic belief that football in the US is merely an "ethnic" game. www.sas.ac.uk /ilas/sem_football_abstracts.htm   (3153 words)

Turkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Turkish constitution recognizes freedom of religion for individuals, and the religious communities are placed under the protection of state, but the constitution explicitly states that they cannot become involved in the political process, by forming a religious party for example. The largest Turkish people that do not belong to turkic ethnicity are Kurds, a distinct ethnic group concentrated in the east, consisting of 10-25% of the total population. Because of different historical factors playing an important role in defining a Turkish identity, the culture of Turkey is an interesting combination of clear efforts to be "modern" and western European, combined with the necessity felt of maintaining their religious and historical values. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Turkey   (3987 words)

Xtratime Community - Class, Ethnicity, and Color in the Making of Brazilian Football. Football's spread among the Brazilian population was related to the sport's appropriation by the various classes and social groups, but this was not independent of skin color or ethnicity. Flamengo's football club headquarters and field were also moved, in 1935, from a traditionally elite neighborhood to one characterized at that time by its proximity to factories, company compounds, and a shantytown (all of which have now disappeared, giving way to a middle-class neighborhood). Several football clubs were made up of university students, and access to law, medicine, and to a lesser extent engineering was a form of social reconversion (via schooling) for the declining Brazilian rural aristocracy, or an expanded reproduction of the new scholarized urban elites. www.xtratime.com /forum/showthread.php?t=31722   (10173 words)

Latvia, Football, and the EU: An Analysis of Latvia's Qualification for Euro 2004 Football is where the country draws its national identity, the improvisational and creative samba-like movements in the pitch and the carnival atmosphere that fans generate whenever they watch “their” team, and continues to be the only institution in which almost all Brazilians could identify. All their teams… were playing with a sweeper when even in Russia they weren’t doing that anymore… They needed to believe in themselves more.”[15] The “progressive” football and inspiring play that Latvia displayed during Euro 2004 was a direct result of Johnson and Alexandr Starkovs’, who took over the reins in 2002, influence. The rise of the popularity of football among the lower class brought to light aspects of the country’s mixed ancestry; the Brazilian National Team is evidence of the integration that football has achieved, where people of all ethnicity is represented. students.washington.edu /mmabanag/index.shtml   (3959 words)

Xtratime Community - Class, Ethnicity, and Color in the Making of Brazilian Football. Football's spread among the Brazilian population was related to the sport's appropriation by the various classes and social groups, but this was not independent of skin color or ethnicity. The Vasco team, champions in the second division in 1922, had a secret: it had recruited the best players from the working-class suburbs, whether they were white, black, or mulatto, and kept them in a regimen of semiconfinement, financed by the club, where the athletes focused exclusively on football. Pel[acute{e}] was the teenage prodigy at seventeen, son of a former football player, aware of the virtues of asceticism to avoid the pitfalls of a professional football career and heir to the synthesis of qualities in his father's generation, which had included Le[hat{o}]nidas. www.xtratime.org /forum/showthread.php?t=31722   (10173 words)

BBC SPORT Football African Cup of Nations Putting the past behind them However the president of the Rwanda Football Association, Brigadier-General Caesar Kayizari, has dismissed suggestions that their squad for the Cup of Nations was picked with the country's delicate ethnicity in mind. As football is one of the tools used by President Paul Kagame to unite a nation torn apart by years of conflict, suspicions abound that a deal was struck whereby places in Rwanda's squad for Tunisia 2004 would be split equally between Hutu players and their Tutsi colleagues. "Rwanda is now in the news for positive things, not the genocide which tarnished the image of our country," he added. news.bbc.co.uk /sport1/hi/football/africa/3417395.stm   (487 words)

Russian Federation: Failure to protect asylum seekers One of the security men held both of his arms, while the other one kicked the Angolan man's head right back with his boot as if he was kicking a football, and I'm sure they must have broken his neck. States should refrain from returning asylum seekers to the Russian Federation on the basis that it is a "safe third country" until such time that all asylum seekers are ensured the opportunity to have their refugee status determined in a fair and satisfactory procedure. The Russian Federation is also a party to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Convention Against Torture)(3), which obliges states parties to refrain from returning a person to a state where there are "substantial grounds for believing" he would be in danger of torture. www.amnestyusa.org /refugee/document.do?id=310B953A74ECB6CD8025690000692C3C   (13668 words)

Xtratime Community - Class, Ethnicity, and Color in the Making of Brazilian Football. Football's spread among the Brazilian population was related to the sport's appropriation by the various classes and social groups, but this was not independent of skin color or ethnicity. The number of Brazilians and factory workers increased over time: the workers stayed at the factory longer, and learning football was a continuous process for them, while managers and overseers tended to return to their native countries or change jobs, and their replacement s were not always good at the sport. The first football league in Brazil was organized in S[tilde{a}]o Paulo in 1901, and the first championship of football clubs in the country was held there, while in Rio the local league was organized only in 1905 and the first championship only in 1906. www.xtratime.com /forum/showthread.php?t=31722   (10173 words)

For France, Germany and Italy, the European Community was central to the renewal of their nations and the regeneration of their economies in the post-War period.
